I know I'm coming into this waaay late in the game, but I thought I'd just add my two cents. I use my real name. I decided I don't like the restrictions of blogging anonymously. Too many details to protect, too many pseudonyms to keep track of. Because I am not anonymous, I think my readers tend to reveal more about themselves, too. But I am careful to not refer to anyone outside of my immediate family by their real name unless I get their permission, and avoid negative comments because one of these days I am sure one of them is bound to read my blog. :-) And I have decided that it's not worth hurting their feelings for the short-term enjoyment of a post. Now that I have strangers stop by my blog, I do find myself filtering my writing. Am I writing for fellow fiction writers? Am I writing for members of my religion? Am I writing for stay-at-home moms? This, I think is my biggest challenge nowadays...how to address my audience and still stay true to what I want to say.

It's pretty obvious. :) I don't consider you as blogging anonymously because you use your full name. But I guess I should have placed you in the semi-anonymous category. @ Cath: Yes, I do realize that. It’s pretty obvious. :)
